This is what we can expect parenting to look like in 2017

While childcare has been traditionally just that - care for your children, in 2017 we're set to see nurseries increasingly catering for the whole family. Clapham Village in South London offers everything from yoga and Pilates classes to a 'parent hub' with an IT suite, take away family meals and a laundry service. And there will likely be a surge in nurseries offering more wraparound care to cater for the needs of working parents. For example a nursery in Dalkeith, Scotland has announced plans to stay open until 10pm in a bid to offer more flexible childcare requirements. And more nurseries are set to follow. We're also likely to see a rise in the number if family member clubs such as Purple Dragon, Cupcake and Maggie & Rose who offer classes, play facilities and childcare for children, all within luxe surroundings. Bye bye chilly church halls. [Photo: Getty]
